摘要
In the epitaxial Lift-off (ELO) technique, where a GaAs device structure is Lifted off from a GaAs substrate using selective wet etching of an AlAs release layer, the etching rate of the AlAs layer is increased by a factor of similar to 8 by raising the etchant temperature to 40 degrees C and adding a surfactant and an antifoaming agent to the etching solution. The mechanism of the high-rate lift-off process is discussed based on the solubility and the diffusion coefficient of the etching product (H-2) in the etching solution. Photoluminescence measurement results show that the quality of the GaAs him is not degraded by the high-rate lift-off process. A high-rate lift-off technique for large-diameter wafers is proposed.
